One Week Down

So, when we decided to go ahead with homeschooling last week, I told Justin that I fully expected to be ready to ship at least one of the girls off to public school by the end of the week and that I was glad that we had three weeks to iron out the details before public school started here, so I wouldn't be tempted then.

I can honestly say that I was not tempted, even once, to send any munchkin off to school somewhere else this past week.

Some favorites from this week:

• The girls studying history and science together
• Making our first lap book ever (for the book Madeline)
• Learning to write upside down (me, while scribing Kate's math work for her)
• The school bell--I'm not sure why, but the three littles get so excited when I ring that bell.
• Art activities set up for me (Rod and Staff, so I don't have to have my act together!)
• Both of my book orders came in, so I have all sorts of fun new things and books
• Gabby's new backpack
• Ratatouille (French cuisine for the study of Madeline--the kids didn't like it, but Justin and I did)
• Labeling the house with our Latin vocabulary words and singing the songs
• Semi-unrelated, Kate is out of her splint most of the time at home now

A mess like that must mean success, right?!
